Just got me a small (perfect BOB) tent today....
Wenzel Current Hiker/Biker Tent
Sleeps 2 (yeah, we will see about that)
3.4 lbs (Remove it from the carrying case and remove the stakes and poles from theirs to reduce more weight, probably close to 3 even now)
We put it together in the living room and without getting some good ventilation, me and the Mrs. are going to cook like ducks....
Seems pretty sturdy for a $20 tent, and you will need to be near trees in order to tie it up.
No rainfly but I always bring a tarp for my roof and basement.
As long as it is in the low 60's or upper 50's we may be ok....
Perfect tent for one person and their gear. Going to go in the BOB when we get back.

I got this from the Mrs. for Christmas last year and barely got to use it when we hit the AT in January. I am going to try and make us some seats from small trees and use this to cut them down. I believe with this knife and some paracord, I could make some backpackers Amish furniture.
Craghoppers "Convertible Pants"
I came across this company looking for a Bear Grylls shirt. After finding them they have some awesome stuff and the reviews I have read are great. Some of their stuff has insect repellant built into the fabric which seems cool. The ones I have are the navy and only have the solar dry which is a water repellant fabric. I like them because they seem like they breath and I LOVE the elastic waistband. Lots of pockets, not too deep on the front ones though. Because of weight, I will be leaving the lower leggings at home. Also, the ones I have are a lil longer than the ones pictured. I like my shorts to come to my knees because I have some long legs. These were also a Christmas present and FINALLY I get to try them out.
I shall get some "field reviews" on these and maybe a couple of other items and get them posted back up next week
